Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference is currently under way, and as usual, the technical fellows at Microsoft gave speeches about the deep architecture of Windows - in this case, Windows 7 of course. As it turns out, quite some seriously impressive changes have been made to the very core of Windows - all without breaking a single application. Thanks to BetaNews for summarising this technical talk so well.

on osnews generally only very very few posts get downvoted so they're not readable. This thread all of a sudden has tons, and a lot of the posts "killed" bring up points that have valid discussions that are now partly ruined because the original post isn't visible for context of discussion (many are not in bad taste trolls).
